The question of when you stop feeling like a girlfriend and start feeling like a caregiver is, and there was a point where I absolutely know that that happened. I saw that he relied on me probably too much to get the care that he needed. There's a lot of stuff, that I used to, know, that Mike would take care of for me, and I made a point of the things Mike could do, I would happily throw at him. Whether it was fix my earrings or put up stuff he could do, I made sure he was still being able to be of service to me like he used to be. Just so we could feel like there was some symbiotic-ness in what we do for each other.
